Pakistan received pledges of more than $10 billion on Monday to help the country recover from last year's catastrophic floods and improve its resilience to the ravages of climate change. The unprecedented monsoon floods submerged huge swathes of the country and killed more than 1,700 people, while over 33 million others suffered its impacts. The Resilient Recovery, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Framework, which Pakistan presented at an UN-sponsored conference in Geneva, calls for $16.3 billion over the next three years for the initial efforts to rebuild and improve its ability to withstand future climate shocks. Pakistan said it should be able to cover half the cost but pleaded with the international community to fund the rest —and in the end, pledges exceeded Islamabad’s expectations. Major pledges made at the conference, co-chaired by Pakistan and the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, included $4.2 billion from Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), $2 billion from the World Bank, $1.5 billion from Asian Development Bank (ADB), $1 billion from Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and $1 billion from Saudi Arabia.
